I haven't spent much time on the list reminding everyone, but the
registration for Yet Another Perl Conference::North America 2007 is
open. We also have openings for presentations.

The website is http://conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2007/.

Also donations/sponsorships are open starting at $100 for companies. If
you think your company (or another that you know) might be interested
in helping to sponsor YAPC::NA, email sponsors at yapchouston.org for
sponsorship information.

This is a relatively inexpensive conference, in our city, bringing in
some big names in Perl. If you have ever had an interest in going to a
programming conference but have not been able to afford it (in time or
money), this would be the conference to hit.

Hello,
Just wanted to thank Robert for presenting this weekend. While working with
objects often gives me the need for copious Advil, it we interesting to me
to see how object oriented you could make perl. 

Thanks Robert!

I'm sorry for taking so long to complete this. All of the 2007
presentations are now up on the website http://houston.pm.org/ under
talks.

It's also a good time to remind everyone that the May 8th meeting is
fast approaching. Would anyone like to volunteer for a presentation
then?

If no one has time to put together a presentation, we could always try
another social meeting. That seemed to work okay a few months ago.

As many of you are aware, the YAPC::NA 2007 conference is in Houston
this June. If you haven't signed up already, you might want to do so.

We will be having quite a few speakers you may have heard of including
Larry Wall, Damian Conway, brian d foy, and others.

The conference is very inexpensive and in our home town. You really
don't want to miss this opportunity.

Check out the web site at http://conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2007/

See you all there.
